Alex Breingan

Alex Breingan (born May 4, 1972), is a UK-born New Zealand television executive producer, television writer and former radio producer and host now based in Los Angeles, USA. He is currently facing multiple fraud and forgery related charges in New Zealand.

Starting his career in UK commercial radio and later as a producer at the BBC, Breingan moved to New Zealand in 2002, where he worked in radio management before transitioning into television. He co-founded Choice TV, now known as Eden in 2012, which was later acquired by international media companies, and established Stripe Studios, a production company responsible for various TV series in New Zealand.

In February 2026, the Serious Fraud Office announced that they had filed 33 charges of fraud in the Auckland District Court against Breingan. The charges allege that Breingan made false representations and used forged documents to obtain approximately NZ$14.5 million in funding, comprising more than NZ$4.3 million in government funded rebates and NZ$10.2 million in lending. Breingan has denied the charges against him and has said the matter was before the New Zealand courts.
